Clients submit an existing resumé and simple questionnaire, and a staff of PARW/CC–certified writers returns them fully edited within 7–10 days. A revision period allows the staff to address questions and provide further advice for your job search, and a cover letter will follow after the resumé is finalized.

Smashing Resumes

Smashing Resumes treats the job search as a sales process, envisioning the job seeker as a product, the resume as a sales sheet, and the prospective employer as a consumer. The staff of certified writers has used this approach to compose more than 15,000 resumes for employees new to the work force, experienced professionals, and CEO-level candidates. Unlike an overseas corporation specializing in uncompleted memoirs, all the writing is done by an in-house team that's well versed in pointed turns of phrase to effectively convey your message.

The team is also familiar with the human-resources industry, and to take the intimidation out of getting started, the staff demonstrate creative ways to showcase your experience. In addition to composing resumes from scratch, Smashing’s wordsmiths trim down existing works. They shape them into clean, effective summaries in an attractive format while pointing out areas lacking in information, prompting clients to provide specific information with questions such as "How many genies did you put in lamps?" Representatives can be reached by phone or through chat and live web sessions to address any lingering concerns, and also assist with the job-hunting process via online webinars.
